[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a steel ball sorting device, including a support frame 1, with rollers 2 installed at the bottom corners of the support frame 1. With the cooperation of the rollers 2, the sorting device can be moved to a designated position to sort the steel balls. It also includes a mounting bracket 3, which is installed on the top surface of the support frame 1. A power source 4 is installed below the mounting bracket 3; the power source 4 can be a motor or a servo motor. A drive assembly 5 is installed on the mounting bracket 3, and the output end of the power source 4 drives and connects to the drive assembly 5. A conveyor belt 6 is installed inside the mounting bracket 3, and a storage assembly 7 is installed on the top surface of one end of the mounting bracket 3. One output end of the driving component 5 drives and connects to the conveyor belt 6, and the other output end of the driving component 5 drives and connects to the storage component 7. The storage component 7 includes a mounting plate 71, which is mounted on the top surface of the mounting bracket 3. A discharge shell 72 is mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate 71, and a storage bin 73 is mounted on the top surface of the discharge shell 72. The storage bin 73 communicates with the discharge shell 72. The vertical rotating shaft 58 extends into the storage bin 73. A baffle plate 74 is installed horizontally inside the storage bin 73 to block the steel balls within the storage bin 73. Several discharge holes 75 are provided on the baffle plate 74, and a rotating blade 7 is provided above the baffle plate 74. 6. The rotating blade 76 is mounted on the vertical rotating shaft 58. Driven by the vertical rotating shaft 58, the rotating blade 76 rotates on the baffle plate 74. With the cooperation of the rotating blade 76 and the discharge hole 75, the steel balls roll sequentially into the discharge shell 72, preventing the steel balls from falling into the discharge shell 72 collectively and causing damage to the discharge shell 72. The top of the storage hopper 73 is equipped with a cover 77 to ensure that the steel balls are stored in the storage hopper 73 when the rotating blade 76 is rotating. The discharge port of the discharge shell 72 is located above the conveyor belt 6. The end of the mounting bracket 3 away from the storage component 7 is equipped with a material distribution component 8. At least two sets of receiving boxes 9 are installed on the top surface of the support frame 1. The receiving boxes 9 are connected to... The steel balls are fed into the storage assembly 7 through the discharge port of the material distribution component 8. The power source 4, in conjunction with the drive component 5, drives the conveyor belt 6 and the rotating blade 76 inside the storage assembly 7 to rotate. Under the action of the discharge hole 75 on the baffle plate 74, the steel balls slide sequentially to the discharge shell 72 and then flow into the conveyor belt 6. With the cooperation of the conveyor belt 6 and the V-shaped partition plate 11, the steel balls flow into the material distribution component 8, preventing all the steel balls from accumulating and falling into the discharge shell 72, which would cause impact to the discharge shell 72 and deform it. The steel balls are screened by the material distribution component 8 to separate steel balls of different diameters, and steel balls of the same diameter are collected uniformly by the receiving box 9. This allows for the rapid screening and collection of steel balls of different diameters.
[0024] In a further embodiment, a connecting plate 10 is also included. The connecting plate 10 spans the top surface of the mounting bracket 3 and is located in the center of the conveyor belt 6. There is a gap between the connecting plate 10 and the conveyor belt 6 for the steel balls to pass through. A V-shaped partition plate 11 is installed below the connecting plate 10. The tip of the V-shaped partition plate 11 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 10 near the conveyor belt 6. The two ends of the V-shaped partition plate 11 are close to the material distribution assembly 8 and have a gap between them and the mounting bracket 3, so that the steel balls can flow smoothly into the material distribution assembly 8. Under the action of the V-shaped partition plate 11, the steel balls on the conveyor belt 6 are guided to flow into the material distribution assembly 8, and the material distribution assembly 8 sorts steel balls of different diameters.
[0025] In a further embodiment, the drive assembly 5 includes a driving gear 51 mounted on the output end of the power source 4. A driven gear 52 is mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 3 and is mounted on the end of the shaft of the conveyor belt 6. The driven gear 52 meshes with the driving gear 51. A driving pinion 53 is mounted on the side of the driven gear 52 away from the mounting bracket 3 and is mounted on the end of the shaft of the conveyor belt 6. The driving pinion 53 rotates simultaneously with the driven gear 52. A transverse rotation shaft 54 is mounted on the mounting bracket 3, and a driven pinion 55 is mounted on the end of the transverse rotation shaft 54. The driven pinion 55 meshes with the driving pinion 53. A drive bevel gear 56 is installed in the center of shaft 54. The drive bevel gear 56 meshes with a driven bevel gear 57. The driven bevel gear 57 is located above the mounting bracket 3. A vertical rotating shaft 58 is installed on the top of the driven bevel gear 57. The vertical rotating shaft 58 is installed in the storage assembly 7. Under the drive of the power source 4, it drives the drive large gear 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven large gear 52 and the rotating shaft to rotate simultaneously. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the conveyor belt 6 to rotate, thus conveying the steel balls. When the rotating shaft rotates, the drive small gear 53 rotates. With the cooperation of the drive small gear 53, driven small gear 55, drive bevel gear 56, and driven bevel gear 57, the vertical rotating shaft is driven to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating blade 76. This allows the steel balls to flow sequentially into the lower material shell 72 and then into the conveyor belt 6.
[0026] In a further embodiment, the material distribution assembly 8 includes two sets of material distribution pipes, which are installed opposite to each other at the ends of the mounting bracket 3. A receiving plate is installed at the outlet end of each material distribution pipe, and the receiving plate has a plurality of discharge ports 87 along its length. A receiving box 9, the same number as the discharge ports 87, is installed below the receiving plate. The receiving box 9 is connected to the discharge ports 87 via a pipe. Each material distribution pipe includes a funnel pipe 81, which is installed at the end of the mounting bracket 3. A receiving pipe 82 is installed at the lower end of the funnel pipe, and a discharge hole 8 is provided on the side of the receiving pipe 82 near its side. 3. The discharge holes 83 are arranged linearly along the length of the receiving pipe 82. The diameter of the discharge holes 83 increases sequentially from the point near the funnel pipe 81. A guide plate 84 is installed at the bottom of the receiving pipe 82, making the bottom of the receiving pipe 82 inclined. The receiving plate includes a V-shaped plate 85, which is installed below the distribution pipe. Several baffles 86 are installed inside the V-shaped plate 85, forming channels in the V-shaped plate 85 with the same number as the discharge holes 83. The discharge ports 87 are respectively opened in each channel, so that steel balls of different diameters can be sorted and dropped into the corresponding receiving boxes 9 for unified collection with the cooperation of the distribution pipe and the receiving plate.
[0027] Through the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following working process:
[0028] When steel balls of different diameters need to be sorted, the steel balls are poured into the storage assembly 7. The power source 4 drives the drive assembly 5 to operate the conveyor belt 6 and the rotating blades 76 within the storage assembly 7, causing the steel balls to flow sequentially into the discharge shell 72 and then onto the conveyor belt 6. With the cooperation of the conveyor belt 6 and the V-shaped partition plate 11, the steel balls flow into the sorting assembly 8. Under the action of the sorting assembly 8, steel balls of the same diameter flow into the receiving box 9 for unified collection. The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this utility model, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
